Chapter 268 Are you really a fool?Fake prodigal son!
(8)

Xia's small palm was only half the size of an adult man. She took the money delivered by the merchant, carefully weighed it, counted it happily, and then put it in her lap pocket with a gloomy expression.In fact, she knew very well in her heart that this little money was only enough to make ends meet, far less than those famous embroiderers earned.

Even so, Xia still had to maintain the best smile, and watched the benefactor leave with gratitude.The rich businessman knew he had taken advantage of it, so he wanted to go back to the carriage he was riding in with the processed silk products in his arms. Facing the criticism from the outraged people, instead of feeling ashamed, he kept snickering.

The wealthy businessman walked up to the carriage, feeling suspicious in his heart. The servant sitting in front of the carriage and behind the saddle looked lonely and his eyes dodged. Who would have thought that as soon as he lifted the curtain of the carriage, he would be overwhelmed by a terrifying aura coming from inside the carriage? After taking a few steps back, he took a breath, and suddenly his legs staggered and fell to the ground.

The precious and gorgeous silk and satin naturally fell to the ground, stained with common dust.

"Who? Who's inside!" As soon as the words finished, the wealthy businessman looked at the carriage in horror, and saw a strange swordsman slowly walking out of it.

I saw him wearing a brocade hat and fox fur, standing proudly alone in front of the car.The wind was whistling, blowing his messy long hair. In comparison, his face without the slightest beard was even more peculiar.Logically speaking, vagrants dressed like this often have no effort to take care of their faces, and it is easier to gain a sense of accomplishment in front of money and status.

"Oh, what a fine embroidery, it would be a pity to throw it on the ground!" The young swordsman stomped his feet, and immediately bullied himself to the rich merchant, picked up the piece of silk, and continued: "My lord, that's what I like. s things!"

"Who are you, why did you suddenly appear in my carriage?" The rich businessman rubbed the pain from the fall, stood up in a daze, pointed at the young swordsman and said, "Tell you, if you dare to steal my things, You are the first one, waiting to be thrown into prison!"

"Master, why bother to rant, everyone buys with real gold and silver. My master said that he is willing to pay ten times the price of you, master, to buy all the embroidery of this flawed girl!"

"What! You...you are talking nonsense! Return the things to me, otherwise, I will sue the government!"

After hearing this, the young swordsman quickly took out an ingot of gold from his body, and shouted: "This gold, can't it be fake?"

Seeing this, the wealthy businessman was instantly speechless.Xia, who had been on the sidelines for a long time, just wanted to say something to persuade him: "Young master, I have already sold that piece of silk to Mr. Huang, you..." After talking for a long time, a mysterious woman with a light veil took her hand , whispered a few words in Xia's ear, and then took her away silently.

"Why, Mr. Huang, do you still want this thing?" The young swordsman asked: "If you can't afford the price, don't blame my master for stealing love."

"I...I pay twenty times!" After that, the rich merchant took out dozens of taels of silver with trembling hands, and replied: "Today, I didn't bring that much money...I will settle the bill later! Madam, Madam Xia, please don't sell it to anyone else!"

Xia had just returned to his home when there were several wailing sounds from outside the door, and he saw the rich businessman holding the silver in both hands, pretending to stuff it into Xia's hands, begging: "Sister Xia, you don't know, last time my wife wore you as a You don’t know how impressive your clothes are at the banquet, you must never sell them to other people!”

"Ah?" Xia was flattered and said hesitantly, "Master Huang, are you really going to give me that much money?"

The rich merchant said: "Take it, take it! Let that guy return the thing to me!"

After finishing speaking, the young swordsman also appeared in front of Xia, handed the silk back to her hand, and said, "Madam, I don't want to offend, but my master's kindness is hard to resist. He repeatedly asked us servants to find The person who made this embroidery also offered a reward of a bar of gold!"

Xia looked at the ingot of gold, and was dazed for a moment, but after a while, she regained her senses, saluted respectfully, and said to the young man: "Thank you for the kindness of this young master and that master. I sold the things to Mr. Huang, and the old man has been helping me all the time, but I can't lose my reputation for this money."

After finishing speaking, Xia sent the silk horse back to the rich merchant, and when she parted, she did not forget to return a dozen or so taels of silver as an apology, and then respectfully sent him away.

Seeing the wealthy businessman go away, Xia just closed the door, invited the young swordsman and the mysterious woman to sit up, and only asked: "My lord, who are you? And this girl, you are looking for a bitch like me. There shouldn't be anything special, right?"

"Madam Xia, please forgive me for taking the liberty to visit, I really have an unfeeling request." The young swordsman said so.

The flawed woman said humanely: "No, the young master has won so much money for me, it's too late for me to thank you!"

The young swordsman was silent for a while, looking at the woman beside him from time to time, as if he didn't know how to speak.

Then, the woman with a light veil asked abruptly, "Brother Feng, where did your ingot of gold come from?"

"This is the lacquered gold copper ingot used by Apollos as a camouflage. It is a common method used by their caravans to deceive bandits. Brother Su saw this little thing is interesting, so he brought one to me." Bai Feng replied: "Yan'er, Why are you asking this?"

"So, this thing is still fake?" Murong Yan pretended to be shocked, turned to look at Mrs. Xia in front of her, and asked, "Mrs. Xia, you know our intentions are not bad, I hope you won't be afraid of what will happen next." .”

Mrs. Xia nodded and signaled Murong Yan to continue: "Actually, last night Tong Yao and General Tong came here, we are all clear about it, and we came here only hoping to meet General Tong... "

"You... who are you?" Mrs. Xia moved her body, subconsciously wanting to escape to inform Tong Yao, but she couldn't help but be moved by what happened just now, so that she still sat on the table in the end .

"Under Baifeng, I was ordered by Zhao Kuo, the eldest son of the Zhao family in Yuyi Town, to investigate the matter of our future son-in-law."

"Little girl Murong Yan, I met Mrs. Xia."

"A member of the Zhao family?" Mrs. Xia's expression instantly became relaxed, and she murmured: "I heard that the Zhao family is going to marry the Tong family. Could it be that Mr. Zhao is not satisfied with this marriage, so he sent you here?" of?"

Bai Feng continued: "As you can see, Tong Yao is an out-and-out dandy, how could he be nice to the younger sister of the Zhao family? ..."

"No, you are wrong! General Tong, he was originally a well-behaved person, at least much more so than his younger brother." Mrs. Xia sighed with deep emotion, "He...has shown his love several times As far as I am concerned, I have never been close. Just because there is no order from my parents and the words of a matchmaker, I can’t get married with a matchmaker, and he is busy with government affairs and military affairs all day long, so he has gradually become estranged."

"And General Tong became what he is now, all because of that damn war!"

After Madam Xia finished speaking, she got up and walked into the room, and brought a locked wooden box. After opening it, there was a swallowtail silver hairpin inlaid with precious stones. She held it in her hand, looked at it carefully, and handed it to the In Murong Yan's hand, she said: "This is left by my dead husband-in-law. Except for the wedding day, I am not willing to wear it. You take it and go to General Tong! When he sees this, he will definitely marry you." Open your heart and tell your heart."

Murong Yan accepted the token, and looked at Bai Feng in dismay.Madam Xia saw that they looked like a pair of wandering heroes, so she couldn't help but say something more: "I think you guys can help him..."

"Thank you ma'am." The two visitors said in unison, and then got up to leave.
